Pebbles are paved on the edge of the pool to moisten the ground. There is an intermittent stream on the cliff. There are a few green trees, a few clusters of wild grass, the moss is green, or a few wild ferns are swaying in the gentle wind, and the light rain is staggering. Go to the water's edge, stretch out your hands, shake a few dancing water flies out of the water, pick up the water and put it into your belly.

"Old monster, do you want to drink water?" Xiaoyu asked without turning around, looking at the swaying shadow of the sun reflected on the water.

"I won't drink." Zhou Fan replied.

Xiaoyu added: "The sun is almost gone now, and they probably won't come back tonight."

Zhou Fan heard this and said sarcastically: "I have gone out several times, and I have never returned without success. It is ridiculous to find a way here. Back then, I was looking for a way into this valley around Gusong Cliff, and there were many mistakes. After spending some time, I found that there seems to be no other way to enter this valley except jumping off the cliff. Since there is no way in, there may not be a way out."

Xiaoyu heard this and asked doubtfully: "Why do you want to find a way into this valley?"

Zhou Fan heard this and raised his eyebrows: "What does it have to do with you?"

Seeing that he was unwilling to tell the reason, Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Is it related to the people from Shangshan Yuling Sect? You hate them so much, so it must be."

Zhou Fan was silent, Xiaoyu wiped the water stains on his mouth, and imitated Zhou Fan's nonchalant tone and muttered: "But what does your feud with them have to do with me, and what does it have to do with me!"

Xiaoyu squatted by the water, reached out and fiddled with a few head-sized pebbles under his feet, moved a few times, walked a few more steps, and fiddled with a few larger rocks.

This action reminded him of how when he was a child, he followed the old man to swim by the river. Under the pebbles of various sizes, there were no other things but a lot of crabs.

These days I have broken my hands and feet, making it difficult to move. Now I can barely walk smoothly. There are scabs on the wounds that are about to fall off. I am still recovering well. I just hope that there will be no unfavorable problems in the future. After all, he has practiced The sword is a fast sword. The sword moves of Can Jian's eighteen moves are all based on fast. The Qinggong chess moves at the feet are also based on fast and strange. One skill can be divided into three special skills. If the hands and feet are inconvenient, except for right and wrong bones, Rongshu doesn't have much impact. If the root cause of any disease really comes down, the other two skills will have an impact.

The pool was several feet square, and there were probably no crabs walking sideways. I quickly dug out a few big crabs, broke off their scattered branches and legs, and threw them aside. In a short time, there were a dozen crabs piled up.

When Zhou Fan saw this boy acting like this, it seemed that he was undoubtedly a farmer's child who had grown up, so he no longer thought about whether Xiao Yu was a member of the world, and smiled and nodded. After so many days, Qin Shuang That girl is decisive and decisive in her actions. She lives in the wild and is very capable in hunting and cooking. She seems to be a person who often travels in rivers and lakes. As for the girl Li Luo, she doesn't know any of them. Apart from being fond of playing tricks on drums, she has basically no experience in rivers and lakes. .

But the twenty-year-old brat in front of him could tinker with getting some crabs to eat as soon as he could move around. He was not an ordinary farm boy, so how could he act like this?

Xiao Yu gathered a piece of wild grass by the water, tied a few big crabs' fiery red pincers, picked up two skewers, turned and walked to the fire.

He used a stick to pry the dead ashes covering the fire a few times, revealing a large rotten wood root buried inside that still retained the residual heat. He threw the crab aside, grabbed a handful of dead leaves, threw it up, buried his head and exhaled. After struggling angrily for a long time, the fire gradually grew stronger and soon ignited.

Then he found a few thick pieces of rotten wood and put them up to prepare a fire for the night. Then he skewered the crabs he had just caught on a raw wooden stick, dug up an area of ​​ashes, inserted the crabs in, and covered them with The dead leaves are left with carbon, covered with ashes and baked.

"Old monster, we are in for a treat tonight. It's rare that there are crabs on the edge of the pool. This is something we never thought of. Fortunately, I did this a lot when I was a child. When I was drinking water, look When I reached the cobblestones under my feet, something was hiding, and then I remembered that there might be crabs under the stones."

Xiao Yu muttered as she pried the residual heat of fire ashes away from the crab.

After Zhou Fan heard this, he nodded and replied: "Haha, not bad, you are smart." After Zhou Fan finished speaking, he reached out and took a few sips from the lotus leaf filled with water, waiting for the crabs baked by Xiao Yu to eat.

Without further ado, let’s talk about how Qin Shuang and the others were tinkering with the drafty cave under the thin cliff between the two peaks.

Tianseyan saw the four people, Feng Yi, Ling Xiaoyun, Qin Shuang, and Li Luo, carefully testing whether there were poisonous snakes hidden under the listed rocks at the bottom of the rock wall, while carefully moving the pile of stones blocking the downdraft. .

The further they moved inside, the more large rocks were piled up and the gaps became larger. They became more certain that someone had blocked a vent here. To be precise, they were now very sure that it was a small cave half a man high, leading to the cliff. As for the scene on the other side of the cliff, they were full of expectations.

In this afternoon, they had moved out a lot of stones and dug out a piece of dry mud the size of a tomb.

However, it was getting late, and there was still two or three hours of work required to move rocks and dig earth to the other side of the cliff to get through the cave. They would be in danger, so they decided to find a place to rest first and resume operations tomorrow.

Feng Yi and Ling Xiaoyun could not avoid being bumped into by Zhou Fan. After recovering from their injuries, they discussed with Qin Shuang. They had lived near the cliff for more than a month and were very familiar with the resting place nearby.

There was no talk all night. In the early morning of the next day, a few people hurriedly ate some wild fruits that Feng Yi and Ling Xiaoyun had picked earlier. Then they hurried to the foot of the cliff and began to remove the stones blocking the cave. After all, this place seemed to be a The hope of them getting out.

The morning fog gradually dissipated, and they also emptied the cave. At first, the cave was half a person tall and the size of a pot lid. Later, it was only waist thick and no more than a knee. Except for the stones blocking the entrance of the cave, it could be moved. In addition, the stone walls around the cave are made of hard rock. They have no tools to dig, so only the smaller Li Luo and Qin Shuang can crawl forward and continue to carry stones out of the small cave.

Two old men, Feng Yi and Ling Xiaoyun, were waiting within reach, helping to move the stones inside to the outside.

Qin Shuang was in front and Li Luo was behind. Under the outer grotto, Feng Yi and Ling Xiaoyun were squatting and waiting.

"It's clear!!" Qin Shuang pushed away some stones blocking the entrance of the cave and saw several lush flowers blocking the entrance.

There are many such flowers in the valley. They are the kind of flowers that grow on the edge of swamps. They are somewhat similar to hibiscus, but they have short shrub leaves. Qin Shuang was born studying medicine and poisoning, so she is also somewhat unfamiliar with this kind of flower. Based on her In her memory, Master said that a short shrub that looked like a hibiscus had the effect of dispelling wind and evil poisons. She forgot the specific name, but based on her words, she tentatively called it Big-leaf Hibiscus, and Li Luo and the others followed suit. It's called the big-leaf hibiscus.

Qin Shuang reached out and grabbed a few flowers in front of her, pulled them out fiercely, and drilled out of the cave to see the scenery on the other side of the cliff.
